<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 873640, member: 6986&quot;]The Thai and Korean MPC coupons were not money themselves.&nbsp; When they received their pay in MPC, they also received the equivalent amount in coupons.&nbsp; When they spent their MPC, they had to also hand over the same amount in coupons.&nbsp; The idea was to prevent them from spending MPC they obtained on the blackmarket.&nbsp; Since a soldier could never have more coupons than the pay received, he was theoretically limited to spending at the official establishments no more than he received in pay.&nbsp; Since he did not have coupons for the blackmarket MPC, he could not spend those in the official establishments.</p><p><br /></p><p>This does not explain why some were not numbered but does explain how they were supposed to be used.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Did it entirely solve the problem?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; The coupons were counterfeited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
